"I saw nothing in his behavior, I heard nothing that indicated any kind of aggressive behavior or anything like that," she told Public News Service. "Just simple, you know, trying to get somebody's attention and ask them a question. It seems to me there was no violation of anyone's space, or physicality, other than the arrest itself."
Of course you know more than someone who was there, right?
Except this forum is a private entity and banning doesn't deprive you from your freedom or your money. But don't let the small details get to you, keep your head buried in the sand, yes?
Oracle and Cisco probably supply the tools to make net neutrality vanish so obviously they would agree with it.
Google and Netflix are big enough that they can pay for the fast lanes and they are shifting into the kill competition before it can flourish mode that plagues all companies when they get fairly big and their pockets become fairly deep.
So yeah. Again it's the people versus the corporations, the new aristocracy.
So how would it go if it was MA Police? I'll risk it
*almost inaudible footsteps in the darker hours of dawn* *sudden cacophony of doors being opened by force, windows getting broken, flashbang grenades being thrown in toddler cradles and tear gas canisters flying, rifles firing*
Police: ...
Later in the day.
Police: we managed to avert the threat of dangerous marijuana users and seized a whole 10 grams of weed! We are so awesome! Reporter: What about the 3 dead including a kid, the burnt baby, the destroyed house and the few million dollars spent in mobilizing the SWAT and in spent ammunition? Police: COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Nothing to see here, move along.
At first I understood they renamed the thing "Praey for the Gods after Bethesda". Of course that would be even more lawsuit-ey but it would be hilarious.
Then why don't ban those specific plane models from flying in, to or from the US instead of screwing everybody? Your argument still doesn't put any sense into the decision.
As these processes get more and more automated they'll have to figure how to prevent fake comments from going in. Google has interesting efforts in that front that greatly help weed bots out with some nice precision from what I've read.
In any case, the fact that they have to resort to bots while the net neutrality supporters just needed to raise awareness to get tons of people to mobilize speaks tons of how pro-consumer current FCC activities are.
Oh so you want to go back in time and lump more bads together? How about 16 years? 8 that eroded privacy and the Constitution and another 8 that had the chance to fix things but didn't? How about even older bads that led to the early 2000's world financial crisis? I see a pattern here and no Govt seems to be exempt from bad. How about we go back to Nixon and draw the parallels between Trump and him? Was Nixon bad? Was it bad that he didn't even pretend or try to hide nepotism, his totalitarian tendencies? Is it bad that Trump does the fucking same? Good you say. Right. Wait till the good hits your arse right in the middle. We'll be brothers in bad then.
Re: Re: I know this is going to be held for moderation, but it has to be said
This was bugging me the other day. The guy is so delusional he can't see that a victory for Shiva would open up his sore ass for a bug lawsuit. Actually I'd say Mike has enough evidence to file a defamation lawsuit against this moron (and others that have made the most outrageous accusations). I suspect Mike is aware of it but he chooses to generally ignore the trash. Whenever he engages them it seems to be one of these "screw it" moments everybody has and he usually corners them into incoherent ramblings that don't answer any of the things he points about their attitude. It is an overall interesting psychology experiment though.
"Let's just repeat this simple fact: being a law enforcement officer is not compulsory. If you no longer feel you can do the job, or don't like the working conditions, leave."
I'd like to put at least some balance to that narrative. It would be akin to saying "if you don't love your country the way it is with all those problems then leave". I've already had a few interactions with cops and there's a guy I studied with that is a cop. That said, there are numerous problems on how they are treated by the Government itself, with how budgets are allocated, accountability against abuse by higher ranks and others. Of course this is here, not in the US but I'd guess that good cops in the US do see problems that need solving including the fallout from dipshits that call themselves cops abusing their position and making lives harder for good cops elsewhere.
I would use the "love it or leave it" narrative cautiously anywhere that involves public interests.
That said, I am not criticizing this article specifically because there is context to the phrase I emphasized above. Cops should be held to a higher standard. If I screw up an engineering project and people get killed as a result I am going to face scrutiny and I will be held accountable. If I do something wrong to a patient and he/she dies as a result I am going to be investigated (specially if it keeps happening) so cops should be held to the same standards at the very least. However, having so much power over another citizen (doctors and engineers can't screw your life as they please, only from killing or injuring you due to an error or failure) they should be held to a higher standard to discourage arbitrary actions and abuses. If this specific point is too much and you can't just follow the damn law and actually work to protect everybody regardless of political position, skin color or whatever reason then yes, just leave.
Sry about the long post but I thought it was important to outline this.
He has barely gone past the 3 month mark in the job and has managed to do so much bad that it's hard to even start listing. If there are weird stuff happening a la Nixon I hope he's shown the way out as soon as possible.
Yea, and even if the latency is better there is a physical limit to how low it can be. Still, if it can serve those remote areas and foster *some* competition then I hope he succeeds.
If this has a side effect of making people pay attention to the crap Pai is trying to hammer through and opposition mounts then it may actually be good that there's some shitty reporting after all heh
Of course I'd rather have no shitty reporting and people actually paying attention and pressuring the guy...
This will keep popping up until it is successfully implemented and the inevitable chaos ensue. Remember when the Govt offered money to people that killed some rodent/pigeon because it was a plague and people started breeding more to get more money? Yeah. Fun times. Don't mention the after-effects of revoking the rewards program when people simply dumped the useless animals on the streets.
Humans learn by pain. Expect such idiocy to be implemented to some degree and politicians be left wondering what to do when it fails.
So let's consider we are going through the same consumer apocalypse that struck after Powell took a huge dump on consumers back then. What will be the internet like in, say, 1 or 2 decades from now? I'll risk a prediction: there will be no internet if you don't pay a very steep premium. ISPs will downgrade the connections to a point where the only usable thing will be their own services effectively creating a walled garden. It was nice to meet you Americans in this free and nice Internets. :(
